Bitcoin ETF sees $355 million in single-day net inflow, ending seven consecutive outflows and sending a positive signal

The US spot Bitcoin ETF market has experienced a phased reversal. The latest data shows that the spot Bitcoin ETF recorded approximately $355 million in net inflows in a single day, officially ending the previous seven consecutive days of capital outflows, injecting a bit of confidence into the otherwise weak end-of-year crypto market.

According to SoSoValue data, a total of 6 spot Bitcoin ETFs achieved net capital inflows on that day. Among them, BlackRock’s IBIT performed the best, attracting about $144 million in a single day; Ark & 21Shares’ ARKB saw approximately $110 million in inflows; Fidelity’s FBTC also gained about $78.6 million in incremental funds. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ETFs under Grayscale, Bitwise, and VanEck also experienced positive capital flows, indicating a warming trend in institutional allocation willingness.

LVRG Research Director Nick Ruck pointed out that this round of ETF capital reflow reflects the market’s recovery from the impact of year-end tax-loss harvesting and de-risking operations. In the context of relatively tight liquidity during the holiday season, the ability of spot Bitcoin ETFs to achieve large net inflows suggests that institutional investors’ medium- and long-term allocation demand for Bitcoin remains solid.

Not only Bitcoin, but spot Ethereum ETFs also ended their previous consecutive days of capital outflows on the same day, recording approximately $67.84 million in net inflows. Additionally, newly launched XRP, Solana, and Dogecoin ETFs have also experienced positive capital changes, indicating that the capital structure of the crypto ETF market is gradually becoming more diversified.

Ruck further stated that although some crypto asset prices have faced pressure on returns this year, the overall performance of crypto ETFs has shown higher maturity, with cumulative net inflows reaching hundreds of billions of dollars for the year. Behind this are key milestones such as the expansion of the Ethereum ecosystem, increased activity on the Solana network, and regulatory progress for XRP. Looking ahead to 2026, as the regulatory environment gradually clarifies and institutional access thresholds lower, the scale of crypto ETF capital inflows is expected to set new records.

The market generally believes that potential regulatory benefits will continue to drive the expansion of the crypto ETF market. Issuers are acting frequently; Bitwise has submitted applications for 11 new altcoin ETFs, covering various structures that directly or indirectly invest in crypto assets.

Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth, pointed out that 2026 could become the year when cryptocurrencies truly go mainstream. With the full regulatory framework in place, crypto assets will no longer be just investment products but will gradually evolve into essential infrastructure supporting the operation of the digital financial system.
